Kai Jordan

Equipment

  • Coffee grinder
  • Pitcher
  • Cheesecloth
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Storage jar

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces Arabica coffee beans
  • 8 cups of filtered water

Instructions
 

  • Grind the coffee beans to a medium grind, or about the same size as raw sugar granules.
  • Scoop the ground coffee into the pitcher and add the water.Stir to mix well.
  • Place the covered pitcher in the refrigerator to let the coffee steep for at least 20 hours.
  • Use the cheesecloth to strain the cold coffee concentrate into the clean storage jar. Avoid squeezing as this will make unwanted particles go through the cheesecloth. Strain again using a fine mesh strainer if you want a clearer strain(optional).
  • Place the covered storage jar containing the undiluted cold brew concentrate in the refrigerator, where it can be kept for two weeks.
  • To serve, pour over ice equal parts of concentrate and cold water. Add sweeteners as desired and enjoy!
